I am willing to trade, possibly gift depending on good reason. Offering, -glazed things, most likely to be useful, floats, requires specification for details, --size, --shape, --upward weight, --and others, -art, -conjured things, although lasts only 1 shard. Accepting things, useful and not endangering. Visitors, probably safe, accepted if not endangering, not evil. If in my world, contact me for assistance.
>Raezenoth, kindness, hospitality -> thank you! What is a desert like?

There are many types of desert, but usually the definition is considered to be a place where it doesn't rain and there is a lot of sand. It is very hot during the day and very cold at night.
In mine it doesn't rain and it has a lot of sand. But it is fair - I keep large aquifers beneath the surface and various cave systems so mortals may find them, and there are plants and animals and some of them may even be eaten. If you are stubborn and work for it, you will always find what you need in my domain.

If you raise the weight of an object that is floating in a liquid, does it become more difficult to move horizontally too? If so I might be interested in learning how to do that.

Yes, that is the point of using a liquid for that experiment. So, does it become harder to move an object that is floating in liquid after you raised it's weight?

Why? No! What? I am confused!
Nonmagical weight=mass, multiplied acceleration (gravitational), downward force (pulled toward middle of source of gravity, usually planet) Magical weight=mass, multiplied acceleration (gravitational), multiplied -1, upward force (pushed away from middle of source of gravity, usually planet) Does not affect surface area, does not affect shape -> does not affect movement, through liquid, horizontal.

I asked for you to perform an experiment relying on your senses, so proper procedure is not telling you what it's about until you've performed the experiment. It turns out you just turn around the direction of gravity. The translation for your explanation was ambiguous. I thought it made the object heavier, as in it upped the weight, not making the weight push it up. I wanted to find out weather it also raised the mass of the object. If it did my Magic could have turned the extra mass into two objects and used that to get infinite objects. "Does not affect surface area, does not affect shape -> does not affect movement, through liquid, horizontal." That was, like I said THE POINT.

I did not do an experiment. I repeated recollections, from physics class. I am on the forum, doing job, same time. Job-> cannot just leave in the middle for experiment. Your question, not science discovery, just mistranslation. Asking for clarification, of uncertain translation, preferable to ask to do experiment. Luckily, did not clearly ask for experiment, believed question hypothetical.
I already knew how magic worked, could have answered if asked for clarification rather than weird physics question, did not realize true intent because, confusing wording, believed to be questioning physics, not smart enough.
Why would upward weight -> more weight downward? Upward=away from gravity source, downward=toward gravity source?
Infinite weight, one place=infinite matter, one place -> black hole = Bad Idea.
Gabriael edit -> EDIT: Already very commonly known, could have asked for clarification. Even if glaze affected weight, should (I think?) still move horizontal same.

"Upped" is sometimes used metaphorically to mean "increased". There are some other uses of the same metaphor as well, such as "higher" to mean "more".

>Mother Starlight, thank you for clarification.
"Upped", makes sense as a metaphor sometimes, -knowledge, -quantities, -happy feelings, sometimes not, -ocean depth, -gravity, -other down-things.

Mass is force per acceleration, more mass means less acceleration horizontally through liquid because the horizontal forces stay, as you correctly said, the same.
Black holes are very bad for many people on this forum, but they are very good for me. I can make them into many useful things and getting black holes would mean more people could live in my world and I could bring people from bad and sad worlds into my world also it will be longer before my world is full and there won't be enough stuff for everyone. Maybe I can get infinite black holes from somewhere and then people won't have to be really sad and really hurt ever again.

Tell me something you want removed from your world, and I will remove it. There's no charge and no catch, but I won't necessarily agree to all requests.

By what mechanism would you accomplish this, Astra Nephthys?

By what mechanism would you accomplish this, Astra Nephthys? I can delete things from concept-space on a local scale more or less by waving at them. Doing it on larger scales is more difficult but not impossible. I am not going to share details about how to do this on a public forum, because I am not a complete and total idiot.

Thank you, for answering my question, and for not being a 'complete and total idiot.'
